VIDEO: Tesla Model S P100D vs Lamborghini Aventador SV drag race

In one lane, we have a Tesla Model S, a family sedan built by a company which was a relative nobody a decade ago. It uses no fuel and moves in silence. Yours for $265,644.

Next to it is Lamborghini’s Aventador SV. The final, and most extreme, iteration of its V12 flagship. It's a $891K shrieking, hulking supercar that assaults the senses and drinks like a Queenslander on Australia day.

On paper the Aventador is claimed to hit 100km/h in 2.8 seconds, but Tesla’s performance claims are even wilder.
